Burj Khalifa evacuated, say reports as Iranian missile hit Dubai in retaliation to US-Israel attack

In a significant escalation of Middle Eastern tensions, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai was reportedly evacuated following an Iranian missile strike that targeted the UAE capital, Abu Dhabi, resulting in one fatality. The missile attack is seen as a retaliation against recent US-Israel military actions in the region. In response to the missile strike, air defense systems activated over Dubai, leading to disruptions in air travel and raising concerns among residents and tourists. This incident underscores the precarious security situation in the Gulf, particularly given the ongoing conflicts involving Iran, the United States, and Israel. The UAE, a key ally of the US, has condemned the missile attack, while regional leaders call for de-escalation to prevent further violence. As the situation develops, authorities are closely monitoring the fallout from this incident and its implications for regional stability and international relations.
